As offensive schemes go, there is none in Arizona more quarterback-friendly than the one being run at Mesa Desert Ridge.
In the past two seasons, Jaguars QBs have set or tied three state records. Josh Cain broke the 5A record for passing yards in a season (3,617) last year, and Kevin Pantastico on Friday smashed the state mark for passing yards in a game (595) and tied the 5A record for touchdown passes in a game (six).
If Desert Ridge advances to the state quarterfinals like it did last season, and Pantastico stays healthy, Cain’s record might not even last 12 months. Pantastico, with 1,058 yards through three games, is on pace to throw for 4,232 yards in 12 games, a total which would also be a record at any level.
Desert Ridge’s quarterbacks aren’t necessarily the most naturally talented, but with Jeremy Hathcock coaching ’em up, they’re always among the most entertaining.

Marcos De Niza has a really good backup QB but for some reason he does not play.I think he could give this kid a run for his money.My cousin plays for MDN and I only got to see this guy throw about 6 passes but he completedat least 5 and 2 or 3 were for touchdowns. He must not practice hard because he is the better QB from what I have seen.
